Description

The invention relates to a system, a text plate blank, an intermediate machining part, a laser tracer, a method for creating a text plate, a method for positioning and removing an intermediate part and a method of assembling the text plate.

State-of-the-art systems for which stamps, plates or text plates for tampons, especially manual buffers, are manufactured by qualified personnel such as tampon manufacturers are known. For this purpose, a draft stamp is created by qualified personnel on a computer using standardized software, such as Corel Draw, Word, etc., by means of graphics and / or texts according to the wishes of the client. Then, the data is transmitted to a machining device, such as a laser plotter, or a command, and then a data conversion is preferably performed using the data and / or stored tables. Then, the specialized staff has a blank, made of flexible rubber, on which the manual or automatic positioning of the machining apparatus, including a laser beam source, is performed. Specialized personnel then start the machining operation to create a negative impression of the stamp blank created by the specialized staff. Once the machining operation is complete, the service personnel remove the blank and clean the machining residues from it. The negative imprint of the tampon is then adhered to the printing plate support on which an adhesive layer is placed, glued or the service personnel cuts double-sided adhesive tape and glue on the blank or the negative text plate, then the text-plate on the support of the printing plate without the adhesive layer of the buffer, in order to send the completed buffer to the client. However, the fact that the current procedure is very complicated and still requires qualified personnel to use the software and the machining apparatus is a disadvantage. A major disadvantage is also that the customer can not immediately take home the stamp with the desired text-plate when buying the stamp, but the customer must send a card with the desired text so that the stamp can be sent to the customer after a certain delay with the mounted text-plate or that he receives the finished plate-text and that the customer must then himself stick to the support of the printing plate.

In addition, an order process and an online shop solution known as "uTypia" known from the Applicant's state of the art allow the customer to order a text plate via a computer, which is then sent to him. .

The fact that the customer receives the stamp or the text plate after a certain delay, however, is a disadvantage. In addition, another disadvantage is that requests for changes to the buffer footprint, which often occur when using the buffers, can not be implemented immediately, but that the control process in line must be renewed. In addition, the stamp impression created by the customer during the online ordering process must be checked again by qualified personnel, including a stamp manufacturer, and minor adjustments may still need to be made by the customer. and they are not agreed with the customer or must be agreed upon in an additional intermediate step. The object of the invention is to provide a system, such as a method in which the production of a text plate can be performed on site for a buffer without prior knowledge.

In addition, the object of the invention is the creation of a text plate blank, an intermediate workpiece, such as a plate or a template, a laser tracer and a corresponding method, for which use is greatly simplified and avoids many sources of errors.

Furthermore, the object of the invention is to avoid and improve the known disadvantages of the state of the art.

The object of the invention is achieved by a system consisting of a machining device, in particular a laser tracer, with a machining table intended for receiving and positioning the intermediate machining part, in particular a tray or a template, comprising at least one extractor for a recess of the intermediate machining part, and / or said recess preferably having devices for guiding and positioning the intermediate part, in particular the text plate blank and / or the workpiece, and allowing the text plate blank to be releasably positioned to provide a planar surface of a base material for subsequent machining of the base material on a base plate. In this respect, the advantage is an assembly that does not require any specialized personnel. So just train on the spot the seller can perform the different steps, because all components are designed particularly user-friendly. It is also advantageous for the customer to be able to participate directly in the creation of his text plate, by first making the stamp imprint on the spot and then observing how the stamp imprint is made. If he does not like the completed impression of the stamp, the customer can make changes and start a new machining. The client can also return home within minutes by taking the imprint of stamp manufactured without having to wait several days according to traditional techniques. A major advantage lies in the fact that the customer can develop himself on site configuration using simple tools of the software. Another advantage is to provide greater flexibility compared to other methods applied in similar environments, such as a flash buffer device for example only allowing the creation of buffers, while in the solution of the invention, Custom signs and engravings can be made for other items.

The devices enabling the system to provide the method according to the invention and the structure in which the text plate blank according to the invention, the intermediate machining part according to the invention, the machining device, in particular the Laser tracer, designed according to the invention, advantageously make it possible to considerably improve the handling characteristics of the operation of the various components. This allows such a system to operate without qualified personnel.

The objects of the invention are also realized by a blank plate-text, allowing to removably ensure the positioning of a flat surface of the base material on a base plate for subsequent machining. It is advantageous to arrange the base material on a stable base plate, so that the surface of the base material is flat, i.e. no irregularity is formed upon insertion of the material as this may be the case for the current state of the art. Such a structure thus makes it possible to ensure the conservation of the same distance with respect to the machining head of the machining device, in particular for a focusing unit of a laser tracer. Defective machining can thus be eliminated by different heights of the base material. Another important advantage is that the use of a base plate promotes safety during the laser machining, because during processing, including the cutting of the base material, there is an additional layer between the intermediate piece of machining and the base material, which makes it easy to avoid destruction of the intermediate machining part, in particular of the plate, during an imprecise height adjustment, that is to say that the laser beam does not arrive immediately on the base plate when cutting the base material, but first reaches the blank of the text plate, and thus only the inexpensive base plate may be destroyed by the laser. Thus, the exact adjustment of the height of the work table does not necessarily have to be done by specialized personnel, but can be done automatically, since a sufficient margin is available for the height adjustment. The handling characteristics are thus improved by such a design of a blank. For a configuration, comprising an adhesive layer, such as a double-sided adhesive tape for fixing the base material to the base plate, it is advantageous to be able to manufacture a blank in a fast and economical manner in excellent characteristics. machining and manipulation.

It is advantageous to have a configuration for maintaining or disposing the adhesive layer on the base material upon removal of the base plate, since the stamp of the completed stamp can thus be mounted immediately on the plate support. print a stamp without additional work steps. This further reduces the cost of manufacturing the stamp because it no longer necessarily has to include prepared adhesive tape or an adhesive layer on the printing plate support. The production of the buffer is thus simplified. It is advantageous that the base material is preferably composed of silicone containing plastic material, in particular rubber, insofar as this allows a very good machining of a very good precision for example with a laser tracer. This makes it possible to achieve a very high quality in the production of the stamp footprint.

The design in which the base plate comprises guiding devices in a corresponding recess of an intermediate workpiece is advantageous because it greatly simplifies the positioning of the blank. This ensures that the blank is positioned without qualified personnel in the correct location for machining.

This design is thus advantageous in that for the creation of a lateral edge, in particular of guide rails, the size of the base plate of the base material is smaller than the base plate, which thus allows a production simple and economical.

But it is also an advantageous structure because the base plate is designed to receive the base material as a holding element, in particular a base plate and a frame for the insertion of the base material, since this eliminates the need to fix the base material on the base body since the base material can be inserted simply into the frame construction and this thus ensures the same handling benefits.

In the case of a structure where the text plate blank is designed to be inserted into an intermediate workpiece, such as a platen or template for subsequent machining, two corresponding parts can thus be realized, so that insertion and removal of the blank can be achieved without any prior knowledge. It is advantageous that the structure has a base plate comprising a positioning device on at least one side for the placement of the base material and / or positioning in an intermediate workpiece, in particular a tray or template, because this allows precise positioning of the blank. This also allows the customer or seller to get a return when inserting a blank, because a type of snap fit is made for positioning.

Another advantage is that for different forms of stamp impressions, in particular round, oval, triangular, the base plate is of rectangular or square shape or that guides for receiving in the intermediate machining part is arranged for shapes. custom stamp impressions, as this allows to insert preferably different blanks with different shapes. This results in a considerable saving of space in the intermediate workpiece, so that its replacement is not so often necessary. The objects of the invention are also realized by means of an intermediate machining part, in particular a plate or template, where at least one extractor is associated with a recess and / or preferably, this recess has an extractor for guiding and positioning the blank or the workpiece, in particular a text plate blank and / or the workpiece. It is in this respect advantageous that it is possible for the first time for the user to perform the removal of the intermediate piece by means of the extractor. Flat-shaped objects, such as a text plate, are often difficult to exit from the recess. Another advantage is that the extractor can also be used for the positioning of the intermediate piece, which allows the user to be protected during the insertion and extraction of the intermediate piece by the device of insertion. The same exact position of the intermediate part is thus always achieved in the case of different users. This greatly simplifies operation or manipulation. A design in which the devices are designed as a guide path in the recesses allows the user to insert only the blank into or out of the recess. At the same time, this guarantees a secure hold during machining thanks to the guidance. However, the design in which at least one recess is arranged with the extractor or the device provides a monitoring device for the detection of the intermediate part, in particular the text plate blank, is also advantageous, as this allows to exclude sources of error during insertion, since in the case of incorrect insertion the machining machine is recognized autonomously by this device, thus preventing the machining process from being started. It is advantageous that an error message is displayed on the screen of the input device in case of incorrect insertion of the blank. It is advantageous that a structure in which a recess and its removal device is provided or that a lighting device of the recess is associated with the device because the position for the insertion of the blank is thus indicated. visually to the user by lighting devices.

It is advantageous to have a design in which corresponding fixed or removable devices are attached to the tool or blank of the text plate for insertion into the recesses, as this allows other structures to be used. including workpieces, for which accordingly defined positions are then available above the recesses. This allows a certain fixation for machining. In the context of the design, where a large number of recesses of different sizes are arranged on the base body preferably depending on the possible sizes of buffers, it is advantageous that an intermediate part covers for example a complete series of buffers, so that the change of intermediate part remains as small as possible. It is also possible to have individual recesses for a variety of buffer sets on an intermediate part or that these can be combined. It is also an advantageous design for which a means of identification and / or data storage is provided in the base body, thus allowing the direct storage of key information on the intermediate workpiece. These can then be transferred automatically to a machining unit when inserted into the milling unit. It also provides an update for new buffer formats or buffer sets.

It is also advantageous to have a design in which the extractor preferably having an inclined ramp or a lifting lug or a pivotable base plate, etc., because the blank can thus be easily raised or pushed out of the recess. It is also possible that a recess is for example disposed in the bearing surface, which would slide a finger, so that you can then easily lift the blank.

But it is also advantageous that the design has cavities, guiding channels in the base body to receive electrical components, such as sensors, cables, etc., as this thus ensures a high standard of safety for tracking the position. The establishment and manufacture of the intermediate part is thus considerably simplified. It is advantageous to have a design in which the base body has an interface for an automatic connection with the working table for the power supply and the data transmission, because no wiring should be done and this thus facilitates the replacement of the intermediate part. The objects of the invention are achieved by a laser tracer for which the machining table is designed to receive and position an intermediate machining part, in particular a tray or a template. In this regard, it is advantageous that the exact position for the recesses is given to the user for the insertion of an intermediate part, in particular of a text plate blank and / or a workpiece, in order to reduce the sources of error to a minimum. This also ensures automatic positioning of the laser, because the recesses are always in the same position, which ensures automation. The user thus only needs to insert the intermediate part, in particular the blank of the text plate, into the recess so that automatic positioning and machining of the intermediate part is performed. When changing the intermediate machining part, it is also advantageous for the user to have, for example, to select or indicate only the new number or code of the intermediate machining part at the level of the gripping device. which makes it possible to restart immediately the machining thanks to the predefined positioning.

In the case of a design, where different intermediate machining parts can be inserted, for which an automatic position adjustment is preferably carried out, it is advantageous not to have to re-enter the software. This makes it possible to avoid sources of input errors. It is also advantageous that the design, in which different intermediate machining parts, in particular trays or templates, are stored in particular in the form of one or more tables and that the different starting positions relating to the intermediate machining part. , in particular the reference points in one for lasers are recorded, because this makes it possible to provide all the necessary data for the various intermediate machining parts.

It is also advantageous if the design allows the storage of additional data, such as the depth of the recess, the height of the position of the machining table, the machining area of the corresponding recess, the size of the buffer and / or the designation of the matching stamp, etc., concerning the entered intermediate machining parts, as this allows the software to permanently make new stamps and data available, thus improving the quality of machining. It is furthermore advantageous to have a design comprising a suction device for cleaning the produced buffer impressions, which allows the user to move the suction by means of a pipe, as this allows significantly improve handling for cleaning, and not having to use additional cleaning apparatus, including vacuum cleaners.

The objects of the invention are also realized by a method of creating a text-plate for a buffer, where the user first selects a buffer imprint size or a buffer, then indicates a text and / or a graph on an input device for forming the stamp imprint by means of an input device or the user generates or first generates the stamp imprint through the input device with corresponding input means , on which the size of the stamp imprint and / or the buffer are calculated and proposed by the input device and / or the control device, in particular the software being executed. The advantage here is that the user, especially the buyer can himself create on the spot the size of the buffer or the type of buffer and then the configuration. The user can thus directly influence the appearance of the stamp footprint. A major advantage is that after the purchase or configuration, the user or the buyer can take home the stamp completed with the text plate produced on site. It can thus directly observe the machining operation, which thus allows the customer to possibly exert its influence even in a short time before starting the machining. A particular advantage is that the print quality is often not suited to the graphics on the first-throw text plate, so the resolution needs to be reworked. This can take place directly in the case of on-site production; thus, the customer has no more surprises as it often happens in the current state of the art, the client receiving the buffer or the text plate later. In the case of an action allowing the user to accept the size of the stamp imprint and / or buffer proposed or another stamp and / or buffer imprint size, it is advantageous for the client to can thus actively decide the final appearance of its buffer. A modification of the size of the stamp or the imprint of the stamp is particularly necessary when the customer wants his text plate to include an engraving, including a logo. Customers thus often choose for reasons of cost, a buffer of too small size, and the quality of the print, desired by the customer and in particular by the manufacturer of the stamp, especially in the case of a graphic or logo, is not not assured.

But the measurements by which the size of the impression is adjusted, if necessary, by the input device and / or the control device in case of modification of the size of the stamp imprint and / or buffer proposed because this avoids the customer to create the footprint again, are also advantageous. Automatic adaptation, such as increasing or decreasing the existing configuration can thus be undertaken. Thus, it is possible to simply modify the different dimensions of a buffer type and / or the type of buffer. The client saves for example its configuration and can thus reactivate later this and create for example a second or another buffer. This is often the case when a client creates a desktop stamp and then wants to later have a stamp for moves with the same stamp, which can be easily done by automatic adaptation.

In the case of a process where the manufacturing costs and / or the corresponding buffer are indicated to the user prior to the creation of the stamp imprint or after the manufacture of the stamp imprint, the customer can immediately see the buffer cost. This helps to avoid undesirable costs.

It is advantageous to have a method allowing in particular to check by the control device and / or the machining device before the machining operation if the intermediate part including the blank of the plate-text is inserted in the right recess of the workpiece, thereby eliminating a source of error. In particular, in the case of numerous recesses of this type, it is advantageous for a completely automatic control to be carried out, since this thus makes it possible to avoid the destruction of the intermediate machining part.

In addition, the objects of the invention are realized by a method for positioning and withdrawing an intermediate part, in which an intermediate machining part is positioned at the level of the machining table with at least one recess with a corresponding extractor and / or device and into which the user inserts the intermediate part, in particular the text plate blank preferably designed from a base plate and a base material disposed thereon in the recess by means of the insertion device, and withdraws it, in particular by pushing it out after machining. In this respect it is advantageous that no qualified personnel is really necessary for this simple and inexpensive method. This important simplification ensures the customer himself to simply insert the blank into the recess and again remove it. As a result, the handling of such a system is substantially improved, thus enabling on-site production. The measures allowing the use of guide means of the intermediate machining part for the recesses of the intermediate machining part, such as lateral guide rails, in order to be able to ensure reliable positioning, are also advantageous. This also ensures that the blank is held in position during machining. In addition, it is possible to exert for example a certain pressure on the blank when positioning the guide rails or the device, to prevent displacement by the machining operation. A measure for inserting the intermediate piece into the base plate below the lateral guide rail of the recess, is advantageous because it can be easily positioned by a sliding movement of the blank. But it is also an advantageous process by which the insertion and removal of the intermediate part are performed manually or automatically, for example by means of a handling device or a robotic arm, as this increases the ease of use and simultaneously avoids the sources of error due to poorly positioned blanks in the intermediate workpiece.

In addition, the objects of the invention are also provided by an assembly method for mounting the text plate, whereby the base material is positioned during the machining operation on a base plate, particularly bonded, and removed after the machining process of the machining device from the base plate where the base material is held on the adhesive layer, then the base material is positioned at the adhesive layer and glued on the buffer plate support. It is advantageous that this leads to a significant simplification and thus to such an improvement in handling, that the customer himself or a salesman can himself assemble the text plate. This design also ensures that the manufacture of the stamp is simplified, because the stamp must no longer have an adhesive layer or tape for the subsequent mounting of a text plate, because it is fixed on the blank. The user only needs to remove the finished and cleaned pad or text plate from the base body and then position it on the print plate holder. Finally, the method is also advantageous in that the adhesive layer comprises a double-sided adhesive tape allowing an optimal adaptation of the adhesive properties on the different materials, that is to say, that on the one hand, a good adhesion for the base material and on the other hand optimal adhesion to the printing plate support is generated, adherence to the base body for machining to be as low as possible, in order to maintain the web against the base material when withdrawal.

The detailed mechanical structure of such a laser tracer 9 will not be discussed in more detail, since it is already part of the state of the tech According to for example WO 1999/038643 A known to the applicant and can be extracted from this document.

Of course, instead of a laser tracer with two beams 9, it is possible to apply a single beam, therefore equipped with a laser 13 with a single source of radiation 11. It is also possible to connect several laser devices. machining 6 to the gripping device 4, so that the most diverse machining devices 6 are selected and activated according to the machining device 6 selected or the task or material. A different machining device 6, such as a milling machine, is also possible depending on the use of the raw material of a text plate 2.

Figs. 2 to 13 illustrate a procedure for manufacturing a text plate 2 or a buffer plate 2 of the software running on the input device 4, in particular on the screen and / or the touch screen, such as this is represented in simplified and schematic form.

When the user or the client 4 activates the input device 4, the input mask 21 appears on the screen. The various functions that can be performed in the input mask 21, on the system 1 or the machining device 6, are presented in the form of input buttons 22, 23, 24, 25 recorded with images. In addition, an information display 26 is available to the operator or the seller, which includes the number of orders already made by the customer and / or orders in progress. Depending on the setting in the software, especially in the software settings, the information display 26 may also allow the seller to display available or received online orders, including uTypia from other points of sale. that he can run later. A cleaning button 27 is also provided for the cleaning function 27, since by pressing the cleaning button 27 it is possible to manually operate the cleaning function, in particular a cleaning brush for cleaning the plate. text 2. As seen on input keys 22 to 25 Input knob 22 Input knob 23 Input knob Input knob 25 fig. 2, the following activities are defined for Creating a text plate / stamp plate 2 Engraving panels 24 Customizing your Ipad / touch pad Command via uTypia When activating one of these input buttons 22 at 25 by the customer, the seller or the operator, a new entry mask opens at the level of the input device 4, making it possible to assist the customer, or the salesman / operator in entering the data necessary to the subsequent steps. In principle, it is possible to integrate symbols, photos, and other masks presented, which have been omitted for the sake of simplicity. If the input button 22 is operated, the buffer selection mask 28 opens as shown in FIG. 3. The customer can validate the selection of the various products 29 to 33, illustrated again by command buttons recorded with images. Here, the possible choice is not limited to the input mask presented, because it is constantly updated with the introduction of new products or the withdrawal of products. The update of the software or the different masks can be done locally by the installation of updates or automatically, for example using the Internet. If the client actuates the button 23, a mask opens to create images (not shown), from which it can choose from a wide range of formats, shapes, etc., while the engraving of a workpiece , including an iPhone, iPad, etc., can be performed by pressing the button 24. By pressing the button 22, a new input mask opens on the input device 4. The current products of the applicant can for example be selected on the product selection list 28 of the capture mask shown, as shown in FIG. 3: Product 29 Pro (Professional) Series Pad Product 30 New Generation Pad Printy 4.0 Product 31 Buffer for Movement Product 32 Date Stamp Pro Product 33 Date Stamp P4 On the different products 29 to 33, the corresponding images / icons (not shown) can be arranged on the buttons. In addition, two function buttons 34, 35 are provided, including the home function key 34 on the one hand, to which the user accesses by actuating the input mask 21, and on the other hand the function button Back 35, which allows the user to return to the previous screen. These two function buttons 34, 35 can be provided on any available mask.

If the user now chooses a buffer type by pressing the corresponding product from 29 to 33, a new mask, namely mask 36 "Buffer creation mode" opens, as shown in FIG. 4. The client can then decide in this mask 36, whether he wishes to create a configuration or whether he enters his pre-entry configuration at home in the input device 4, such as a computer or a computer, where the button 37 "I realize my configuration" and button 38 "I import my file" are displayed.

By pressing the button 38, the user opens the window of the import file 39, as shown in FIG. 5. The user can extract the data from the formats he can import. The data may in particular be recorded in the format "bmp, png, tif, pdf, ps", the user inserting or connecting for this purpose for example a USB key to a USB port of the input device 4. By then operating the button Load file 40, it opens for example a file manager, allowing the user to select the corresponding data, which are then imported. It is of course possible to carry out an automatic recognition of the data, which is proposed to it in several possible data formats of the storage medium, such as a USB key, to be selected from a list. It is also possible to connect an external hard drive or other storage media to the USB jack. For existing hard drives, the optical disc drive, including CD-ROM, Blu-ray, MiniDisc, etc. can also be used. With the appropriate integration of a mail server, the user can also send data, including the stamp imprint 7 created or images / graphics / text on the input device 4 from his mobile phone, including his smartphone. For this purpose, by the appropriate selection of the corresponding function, which can for example again be performed via a button (not shown), a corresponding e-mail address is displayed. However, this can also be integrated directly into the configuration in the software. It is also possible to transfer the data / images / texts to the input device 4 using a WLAN connection, a wireless infrared port or via Bluetooth. In the method of transmission by a mail server to the client, a response message is preferably sent with a code / password for a password / code request to be made before the client can open the mail when the corresponding e-mail is opened on the screen or the touch screen of the input device 4. This makes it possible to prevent a client from opening the e-mail of another client. It is also possible for the customer to delete his own email or to define the duration of storage of the email in the input device 4. It is also possible to send an email on the input device 4, that the input device 4, including the software, sends a response email, wherein the client is asked to unblock the email including an unlock link. It is also possible for the customer to send his own password for the email, which he will then have to enter in the input device 4.

When the customer has imported his data, texts or graphics, he can continue, as shown in fig. 4, by clicking on the button 37, the creation of the text plate 2. For this purpose, a new input window 41 "Buffer creation mode" opens, as indicated in FIG. 6.

The customer must then perform several steps "Steps 1-4". Several selection buttons 42 are then provided for the different steps. These selection buttons 42 are preferably designed so that by clicking or activating them, the color and / or the appearance is modified thus allowing the customer to identify what he has selected. In the first step, "Step 1", the customer can select the format of the square / rectangular disc "S / R" or oval / round "0 / R". Step 2 "Step 2" can be selected via "YES or NO" if a logo (image / graphic) is used or not. In addition, the customer can select the position of the buttons from the position keys 43 "T = up, R = right, B = down, L = left and C = center". In the third step, "Step 3", the customer can choose again if he wants an edge or a border or if he does not want it, which he can select by Yes or No. The final step of this input window 41 comprises the definition of the lines "lines" required for the text plate 2, that is to say that the actuation of one of these numbers makes available to the customer the number of corresponding lines. If the customer chooses, for example, the number 2, he has the possibility to enter a text on two lines, while for the number 3 three lines are available, etc.

As for this page or this mask, the customer can make his choice only on the buttons, the customer must operate the button 44 "continue" to display the following mask "Please choose a self-inking", as shown in the fig. 7, and to continue typing. The client obtains on this page the information concerning the buffer sizes 46 available for the selected buffer type (product 29 to 33) on the stamp selection mask 28. If the customer has chosen on page 28, the product 29 " Professional ", the buffer sizes 46 displayed" Professional 5203, 5204, 5206, 5208 "are provided, while for the product 30 the buffer sizes 46" Printy 4910, 4911, 4912, 4913, 4914, 4915 "( unrepresented), etc., would be made available. According to the selection on the buffer selection mask 28, the product sizes available and / or the models are displayed to the client for this mask 45. In addition, the client can then select the color on the mask using the button. 47, a small icon, such as a check mark is displayed on the color selection button 47 when selecting the color, as illustrated. It is of course possible that the color and / or appearance of the activated color selection button 47 activated changes. For this exemplary embodiment, the color series "blue, black and red", from which the customer makes his selection, is available. The client can also select multiple colors of a buffer size 46, to generate a "multicolor buffer". It is also possible to present images of the different sizes of buffers 3 and / or their imprints. It is also possible that different sub-masks, lists, etc. previous or remaining masks to be described, which are not represented, are developed and displayed. For example, for a multicolored stamp, other color selection masks or the like can be opened.

When the customer has chosen the color, it again activates the button 44 "Continue" to continue with the settings. The text input mask then appears "Please enter your text" as shown in fig. 8. This contains the number of lines "Line 1 to ...", as defined by the customer in the input mask 41. In the example illustrated, the number 3 has been selected in the input mask 41 , so three lines, so lines 1 to 3 are represented. Next to the entry "Line 1, Line 2, Line 3", a respective entry field 49 is displayed. With respect to the input field, the customer can enter text on an input device, such as a keyboard. It is also possible that corresponding character input keys 50 presented on the mask 48 can insert the corresponding symbol indicated in the active lines when they are actuated. It is of course possible to display a full keyboard.

In the case of special symbols, for example "smile", it is also possible that sub-windows (not shown), from which several symbols of this type or others can be selected, open. If it turns out during the creation of the text that the customer, for example, needs an extra line or has an extra line, he can go back using the "Back" button 35 and redefine the number of lines in the input mask 41. It is of course possible that a correction button or a direct return button can be placed on the input mask 41. It is also possible to delete the lines by means of the d button. erase or add multiple lines using an insert button. If the client actuates the button 44 "Continue" a new window 51 "Edit your configuration" in which the configuration 52 of the plate-text 2 is indicated to the customer, and can still modify or adapt at this stage. In this window 51, according to FIG. 9, all the parameters made available to the customer in different domains 53 "Special characters", 54 "Formatting the text", 55 "Positioning the logo" are summarized, without any additional detail on each function as they proceed as for the word processing programs. The user can immediately recognize from the symbol what function is represented and what is changed by this means. For example, by changing the font of the text "Arial", the font of the text can be changed with the first line activated. For example, if the client changes the number for the font size, the text size is changed, and so on. It is essential here to give the customer the opportunity to display the completed configuration 52 before manufacture and that it can change and adapt accordingly, which the client can immediately view at the configuration 52 when changing the configuration. pressing a button or typing. In order to take into account the simple return of a modification, two additional buttons 56 "Cancel" and 57 "Restore" are provided, allowing the client to quickly cancel the changes relating to one or more previous steps. The mask 51 thus represents the core of the machining with direct effects on the design of the stamp imprint 7. If the customer agrees with its configuration 52, it presses the button 44 "Continue" again to continue the creation of the text / text plate buffer 2. The exemplary embodiment illustrates the case where the customer data mask 58, shown in FIG. 10, is open and in which the customer can enter his name and the postal code / locality through two input fields 59. It is possible in this respect if necessary to be able to indicate other additional data such as the address, phone number, e-mail address, etc ,. It is also possible that the client does not enter data and passes directly through the button 44 "Continue" on the next mask 60 "Check your data", as shown in fig. 11. The purpose of this mask 60 is to inform the customer again of all the necessary information and configuration 52. In addition, the costs and prices are calculated and displayed in the "price" section at the opening of this form. mask 60 to communicate to the customer. This is important insofar as the customer must accept the price knowingly, for which a corresponding request 61 "yes or no" is associated. If the client actuates the No button of the request 61, the process is terminated, whereas in case of "YES", the two buttons of the request 61 are modified and a new button 62 "Produce" is displayed as indicated on fig. 12. If the customer actuates this button 62, the machining operation is then activated. It is thus possible for this purpose to supply energy to the necessary components only at that time, so that they are previously only in a standby state to save energy. It is also possible to send a message to a seller, or for example that a display element (not shown) is activated. By pressing the button 62 "Produce", another mask 63 "Insert the laser code" is activated and displayed, as shown in FIG. 13. This mask 63 has a number of function and security indications and includes an input field 64 "laser access code". Of course, it is possible in this case that these function and safety indications can be checked automatically, the sensors or the corresponding instructions, which can be used for this purpose, as indicated below. It is also possible that the information is presented in the form of questions to be confirmed by the supplier or the customer. It is only when all the security indications are confirmed that the input field 64 is displayed for example. In the exemplary embodiment illustrated, the client's activity ends with this mask, that is to say, that the operator or the seller is now required to operate the machining process by entering the code of activation in the input field 64, in order to start the machining process on the machining device 6. The vendor inserts a text plate blank 80 at the appropriate location in the machining device 6 and indicates the code in the input field 64. The customer can then observe the on-site machining operation. When the machining process is completed, the vendor removes the negative of the text plate 2 from the blank plate-text and the stamp 3, allowing the customer to immediately take with him the finished buffer. Thanks to the current semi-automation and the on-site machining, the finished text-board 2 is available to the customer after a few minutes, and the latter does not have to wait several days for the plate- text 2 is sent or retrieved after a certain time from the seller, as is generally the case according to the current state of the art.

Of course, it is also possible that the semiautomized machining operation described above is developed so that it can even be performed by the customer, for which the requests and instructions of the customers are carried out step by step by appropriate provisions' where masks, entries or queries are displayed for this purpose. For example, based on the configuration 52 and the selected buffer 3, a text plate controller (not shown) can deliver to the client the correct blank of the text plate 80, which it inserts into the device. machining 6 indicating the position and the aids at the entrance or exit. When the machining space has been closed with a door / hatch, the machining operation is started after checking the position of the blank of the text plate 80 and the cover of the machining device 6. In principle, it is even possible to automate this insertion process by using, for example, corresponding robotic arms or equivalent elements. In addition, it is possible that the security technology monitoring software is running in the background for the creation of the configuration. When changing the configuration, it is thus possible, especially in the case of texts too large, that they are no longer adapted to the size of the text plate of the buffer 3 selected, and a warning message will be displayed on the screen. At the same time, a new buffer 3 of the same series can be proposed here by the software, the configuration of which would be adapted and which the client can accept or reject. It is also possible to monitor the length of the text per line so that, in the case of a long text on a line, the software automatically inserts a new line, which the buyer must accept again. This means that the size of the proposed buffer footprint 46 and / or the buffer 3 can be accepted by the user or another buffer imprint size 46 and / or buffer 3, allowing, in the case of changing the size of the proposed buffer 46 / buffer 3 of the input device 4 and / or the control device 5, that the stamp imprint 7 is adjusted, if necessary. Such changes will occur especially if the user selects for example too much font when creating the configuration or the user's graphic, image or logo are too big, and they would come out only 'with poor quality on the selected buffer 3.

It is also possible that the sequence of the process described above or software used is not related to the exact sequence on the input device 4, but it is possible that the size of the footprint of the buffer 46 is chosen and that the buffer type or the matching of the buffer type is proposed only later. It is possible in particular to use on-site other masks or processes for the creation of a text plate 2. The following figures 14 to 24 show different examples of realization of text plate blanks 80.

The text plate blank 80 is designed for the machining device 6, in particular the laser tracer 9, in order to generate the text plate 2, in particular for the stamp 3, which can be manually actuated. The machinable material by the machining device 6 preferably consists of a base material 81 of the rubber type, in particular a silicone-based support material 81, which is generally very flexible and preferably machinable, in particular hardenable, with by means of a laser 13,14. To achieve a flat surface such as a flat surface 82 of the base material 81, for further machining the base material 81 is removably positioned on a base plate 83. In this regard, a layer is provided. adhesive layer 84 for fixing the base material 81 to the base plate 83, the adhesive layer 84 being preferably formed to provide a durable adhesion to a printing plate support of the pad 3. The adhesive layer 84 for example, a double-sided adhesive tape 85 After machining the base material 81 disposed on the base plate 83, and after removal of the base material 81, the base plate 83 is reusable, that is, that is, a base material 81 can be glued back onto the base plate 83, and a new blank is thus available.

For the manufacture of an intermediate part, such as the text plate blank 80, the base material 81 is manufactured according to the size of the base plate 83, in particular cut correctly; the special adhesive layer 84 preferably in the form of a double-sided adhesive tape 85 is then deposited on the base material 81 or the base plate 83, and the base material 81 is attached to the base plate 83 by means of of the adhesive layer 84. This ensures the flatness of the surface 82 of the flexible base material 81, and especially that it is flat or straight, to allow optimal rework. This allows the significant improvement of the handling characteristics because the blank is not very flexible, as is known from the state of the art, but very stable on the base plate 83.

In particular when using such a system 1, it is important, in the absence of qualified personnel, that the steps are as simple as possible. This includes, as the main component of the system 1, the text plate blank 85. For the creation of a text plate 2, it is necessary that the base material 81 is formed such that it is machinable. by the machining device 6, that is to say that when using the laser tracer 9 as machining device 6, the base material 81 is machinable by the laser 13 or 14, in particular that it can be hardenable or stripped. For this purpose, the base material should preferably be composed of silicone-based plastic material, such as rubber. The base plate is composed of a solid material, the materials that can be used are preferably those having a high rigidity and a good sliding capacity. The special design, including the structure of the text plate blank 80, is such that simple and secure positioning can take place in the machining unit 6. In this respect, the machining unit 6, in particular, the laser tracer 9 comprises a machining table 15 for etching, marking, labeling and / or machining an intermediate part, in particular text plate blanks 80 and / or workpieces; this machining table comprises an intermediate machining part 110, in particular a plate 111 or a template, the specific structure of the intermediate machining part 110 being described in more detail hereinafter in FIGS. 25 to 30. In this case, the intermediate machining part 110 comprises a base body 112 having at least one or more recesses 113 for the positioning of an intermediate part, in particular of the blank of the text plate 80. At least one extractor 114 is associated with a recess 113, this recess 113 preferably having a device 115 for guiding and positioning the intermediate part, in particular the blank of the text plate 80 and / or the workpiece, it is that is, the blank of the text plate 80 is inserted by the user or the seller into the recesses 113, the latter being positioned and guided by the device 115. As shown in the illustrated embodiment, the material base 81 is disposed over the entire surface of the base plate 83, i.e. the base material 81 extends to the edge of the base plate 83; when the blank of the text plate 80 is inserted into the intermediate workpiece 110, the base plate 83 and the base material 81 are thus simultaneously guided through the device 115.

In another blank embodiment of the base plate 80, as shown in FIGS. 17 to 23, the base material 81 is smaller than the base plate 83, i.e. base 83 comprises guiding devices 86 for guiding the intermediate machining part 110 in a corresponding recess 113. The blank of the text plate 80 must therefore be designed for insertion into the machining device 110, in particular the plate 111 or the template, for subsequent machining, the guidance then being effected exclusively via the base plate 83.

Another embodiment, according to FIGS. 19 to 20 indicates that the base plate 83 comprises positioning devices 88 at least on one side, for fixing the base material 81 and / or for positioning in an intermediate machining part 110, in particular a plate 111 or a template. In this respect, FIG. 19 indicates that the positioning device 88 is designed for the establishment of the base material 81, by an enhancement 89, while in FIG. The positioning device 88 consists of a cavity 90.

It is also possible to provide other positioning devices 91 on the side facing the machining device 110, or laterally to the base material material 81 or to the base plate 83, for guiding and positioning in the machine. intermediate machining part 110, that is to say that the positioning device 91 is formed in the intermediate machining part 110, in particular in a plate 111 or a template, by means of grooves, shoulders, guide rails, etc., arranged on the opposite side and / or laterally to the base material 81 fixed to the base plate 83. In this respect, in interaction with the machining device, with the machining pad 110, a type of snap fit can be cooperatively made to allow the user or the seller to receive mechanical feedback upon insertion and thus to know that the blank of the stamp plate 80 is correctly positioned. For example, in the recess 113 of the intermediate workpiece 110, semi-circular raises 116 may be provided for this purpose and semicircular notches 92 corresponding to the base plate 83, as shown in FIGS. 21 and 22 for exerting pressure during the insertion of the blank of the text plate 80 on the raising 116 and then being able to fit the raising 116 in the notch 92. This allows for example, a secure hold In principle, it should be mentioned in this regard that all the versions of the draft of the text plate 80 are designed so that the base material 81 completely covers the base body 83 or is smaller.

Another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 23, illustrates that the base plate 83 is formed to incorporate the base material 81 as a holding member 93, including the holding frame, for the insertion of the base material 81. For this purpose, the holding member 92 consists of two parts: a base plate 94 and a corresponding frame 95. The frame 95 is removed to position the base material 81, and the base material 81 is positioned on the slab 94, corresponding tools (not shown) being provided for this purpose, or the base material 81 being inserted into the chassis 95 for this purpose. The frame 95 is then placed and connected to the base plate 94, corresponding interlocking interlockings and / or hinges (not shown) being provided for this purpose. This ensures the jamming of the base material 81 between the two parts and allows a secure and firm hold, to then ensure the insertion of the holding member 93 in the recess 113 of an intermediate machining part 110. This design makes it possible to preserve the adhesive layer 84, an additional adhesive layer 84 that can of course be applied to the slab 94.

The base plate 83 or the holding member 93 are preferably constituted such that the base plate 83 or the holding member 93 is reusable after the machining of the associated base material 81, and after removal of the base material 81, that is to say that a new base material 81 can be glued to the base body 83 already used or inserted into the holding member 93. However, to ensure optimal and secure positioning and ease inserting and removing the blank of the text plate 80 in the intermediate machining part 110, the intermediate machining part 110 must be formed correspondingly to the blank of the text plate 80, and presented additional measures and tools. When double-sided tape 85 is used, it is possible that it remains attached to the base material upon removal of the base material 81, so that the base material 81 can then be glued with the tape. Adhesive 85 on a stamp pad 2. This makes it possible to manufacture a stamp 3 without adhesive tape to the printing plate support. Figs. 24 to 30 illustrate the intermediate machining part 110 described above, the intermediate machining part 110, in particular the plate 111 or the jig, being designed to allow etching, marking, labeling and / or machining of an intermediate part by a laser tracer, and a base body 112 which is designed for example in a transparent manner, comprising at least one or more recesses 113 for positioning the intermediate machining part, in particular the blank of the text plate 80, and at least one extractor 114 associated with a recess 113, this recess 113 having a device 115 for guiding and positioning the intermediate piece, in particular the blank of the text plate 80 and / or the piece to machined.

The devices 115 in the recesses 113 are preferably designed in the form of a guide rail 117, the devices 115 being arranged in the recesses 113 in the zone of the edge, in particular the longitudinal sides 118, on at least one lateral portion of the edge, that is to say that the guides do not travel the total length of the longitudinal sides 118, but they can form a single piece. It is also possible for a plurality of discontinuous guides to be disposed on a longitudinal side 118. The guide rail 117 is designed with a shoulder 119 to form a clearance 121 between a bearing plane 120 and the shoulder 119, as indicated on FIG. fig. 25. By the clearance 121, it is possible to insert the blank of the text plate 80 which is inserted between the support plane 120 and the lower edge, turned towards the support plane 120, as illustrated on the drawings. fig. 26 and 28. Thus, figs. 26 and 27 show an application in which the blank of the text plate 80 is inserted with the base material extending to the edge of the base material 81, while in FIG. 28 only the base body 83 rises in the guide rail 117, especially in the clearance 121. It is therefore essential that, depending on the blank of the text plate 80, the guide rails 117 are arranged so that it is possible to insert different intermediate machining parts 110 for the different blanks of the text plate 80 and that they are inserted into the machining device 6, if necessary. Of course, it is also possible to provide several recesses 113 identical with different levels of clearance 121, to place the blank 80 accordingly. Thus, to facilitate, however, the insertion and removal of the intermediate machining part and the blank of the text plate 80 for the customer or the seller, it is possible for an extractor 114, arranged in a fixed manner or The extractor 114 is preferably provided with an inclined ramp 122, as shown in FIG. 26. Of course, it is possible to use also other extractors 114 instead of a ramp 122. For example, the extractor 114 may consist of a lifting cleat or a pivotable lower slab, etc.. (not shown) It is also possible to use a special pattern instead of a ramp 122, including an elliptical pattern so that upon removal, the blank 80 can be simply removed from the recess 113 and the seller or customer can easily extract it.

On the main body 112, different recesses of different sizes 113 are preferably arranged according to the different possible sizes of pads 46 corresponding to a buffer 3, so that only one intermediate piece is necessary to be able to use as many as possible of different blanks of text plates 80 and thus not having to constantly replace the intermediate machining part 110. It is also possible that the main body 112 is designed in a transparent manner. It is also possible to design the base body 112 from several elements such as plates. It is advantageous that the base body 112 comprises devices 123, including guide holes for positioning on the work table 15, in particular against guide pins; in this way, when replacing an intermediate machining part 110, a defined position for the machining intermediate part 110 is always indicated on the machining table 15 or the guide pins are arranged on the intermediate piece of machining. machining 110 and the machining table 15 has corresponding holes. It has been found that the label comprising the type of stamp is an advantage because the customer or the seller can also make a visual check to verify the correct insertion of the blank 80 for machining. So that the blank of the text plate 80 can also be inserted into the correct recess 113 of the intermediate machining part 110, it is possible for the intermediate machining part 110 to be provided with monitoring devices 124 in order to ability to perform an automatic check. For this purpose, a device 124 is disposed at least at a recess 113 with the extractor 114 or the device 115, to detect the intermediate part, that is to say that a sensor 125 is provided at the recesses 113 to detect if a blank of the text plate 80 is inserted or not. The sensor 125 can be formed for example by a mechanical switch so that it can be activated when inserting the blank of the text plate 80 and that it can thus be detected or accessed from the input device 4 and / or the control device 5 and / or the machining device 6. In this regard, it is also possible to use a light barrier, an infrared sensor or for example an RFID system, in which an element is placed on the base body 83 of the stamp of the ink pad 80, etc. In addition, it is also possible to use an optical display for the right recess 113. For this purpose, it is possible for at least one device 126 to illuminate the recess 113 to be associated with a recess 113 with the extractor 114. In this case, the device 126 can be integrated directly into the base body 112 or it can be located below the machining table 15 or above, the illumination of the corresponding recess 113 occurring during activation. This thus makes it possible to indicate to the user or the seller before the insertion, in which recess 113 he must insert the outline of the text plate 80. It is also possible, for example, that a light be provided as device 126 for each recess 113, each indicator being able to be activated in order to signal to the user or the seller the location where the blank of the text plate 80 must be inserted. For the complete automation and verification, it is necessary to furthermore possible to provide a device 127 in the base body 112 for the identification and / or storage of data. It is also possible to provide an interface 128 to the base body 112, for automatic connection to the machining table 15 for the supply of electrical energy and data transmission, that is to say that when the insertion of the intermediate machining part 110 via the interface 128, an electrical and / or optical connection is made with another interface (not shown) on the machining table 15 or in the machining space of the machining device 6 or can be connected, allowing the transmission of energy and data. For this purpose, it is possible in a modular structure, particularly in the case of several superimposed elements, that an element of the intermediate machining part 110 has cavities, guide channels, intended to receive electrical components, such as sensors, cables, etc., thus making the construction simpler and more economical, as shown schematically. The security is thus considerably increased.

It can be stated in general that it is of course possible to make or to provide measurements and corresponding elements, known from the state of the art, on the intermediate workpiece 110, in particular on the recesses 112, and / or the blank of the text plate 80 for data communication and / or position detection. A wireless transmission of energy and data must also be possible, the machining space, in particular the machining table 15, to be equipped for this purpose. In this way, it is also possible to perform an automatic detection of the newly inserted machining part 110 when replacing one or more components of the system of the intermediate machining part 110, and to transmit any necessary data. from the memory of the workpiece 110 to the components, i.e. the data, relevant information, etc. can be queried or transferred, are stored on the intermediate machining part 110. This ensures that a new machining intermediate part 110 is generated for the new buffers 3 and the corresponding necessary data are recorded; thus concerning already existing installations, only the new intermediate machining part 110 must be inserted in order to provide the system with the latest data and information. In this way, no maintenance by a qualified professional to import the new data, information in the old systems is necessary because these data, updates, etc. are performed via the new workpiece 110. In order to apply these measurements, it is necessary that the associated machining devices 6 are designed accordingly, that is to say that the laser tracer 9 used to perform the engraving, marking, labeling and / or machining of an intermediate part, in particular a text plate blank 80 and / or a workpiece, comprises at least one working table 15 for positioning the workpiece machining intermediate 110, at least one radiation source 11 or 12 in the form of a laser 13 or 14 with the respective deflectors 17, and a preferably removable focusing unit 18 and a control unit or a control device 5 to control the different elements; the control unit or the control device 5 must be designed at least for reception on an external component, in particular the input device 4, generated data, such as a graph and / or text for a buffer footprint 2, and the working table 15 must be designed for the reception and positioning of the intermediate machining part 110, in particular a plate 111 or a template, according to the embodiments described above, a simple schematic representation of the 6 for the purpose of this, the machining device 6, in particular the laser tracer 9, must be configured in order to be able to insert different intermediate machining parts 110, preferably with a predetermined determination. of automatic position, that is to say, that a new automatic positioning of the reference point is performed after the replacement of an intermediate machining part 110, in particular of the point of reworking. and the height of the machining table 15. It is possible to store in a storage unit, particularly in the form of one or more tables, different intermediate machining parts, including trays or templates, and at least the different starting positions, in particular the reference points, are recorded for the laser. The user can thus choose from the intermediate machining parts 110 recorded the intermediate machining part 110, or it is also possible to activate the automatic detection so that the user no longer needs to perform adjustment. after a replacement. It is preferable to record other data, such as the depth of the recess 113, the height of the position of the machining table 15, the working range of the corresponding recess 113, the size of the buffer 46 and / or the designation of the matching stamp 3, etc. with the machining intermediate parts 110 recorded. Such a laser plotter 9 further comprises a suction for cleaning the stamp imprint 7 created and a pipe that can be moved by the user, that is to say, that during the machining process in the machining space, the evacuation is actuated and draws air into the machining space, and that the suction through the pipe is actuated after the machining operation, which allows the user to be able to remove the blank 80 and to clean the billet plate 2 machined through the pipe, comprising for example a special brush with suction openings at the end. It is of course also possible to operate the suction pipe during machining or to allow the user to manually operate the suction pipe.

The blowing air should preferably be adjusted automatically, in particular by checking the parameters, in two steps on the machined material. This is achieved by a larger additional pump connected for stamping. The blast air nozzle is adjustable along two axes, so that the focusing can be performed relatively accurately. The cleaning brush is automatically activated after burning. This is done with an automatic switching valve for suction. The cleaning function can also be operated manually by means of the cleaning button 27. It is also generally possible to insert a special cleaning device for the text plate 2, ensuring automatic cleaning. In this regard, the cleaning device can perform cleaning with liquid and / or vacuum cleaning. With respect to the on-site system 1 illustrated and described, it is essential that the handling characteristics are simplified to require no specialized personnel, but that it can be performed by a seller or a customer on site, all necessary measures to be taken for security.
